INSPIRATION

The hearts of men are clouded with conflicting thoughts, resulting to depression and strange behavioural attitude. Oftentimes, fear of conflicting thoughts overwhelmed our reasoning. These make many people to fall into recurring errors and exhibit monsters’ attitude. But the Lord has given us the WORD to inspire our world. Welcome to my blog, where WORDS OF INSPIRATIONS are dish out on daily basis to light up your day.

Life keeps
unfolding things we want to believe, likewise things we do not want to believe.
The more we observe life, the more we see pros and cons of life. The more we
review the events of life, the more we believe what we ought not to believe.
The more we aspire to become great in life, the more conflicting ideas are
struggling for supremacy within us; the good, the bad and the ugly ideas. As we
review every step we take, every choice we make, every decision we take, we
learn contrary lessons about life; lovely and unpleasant lessons. The errors we
ought not to commit, the mistakes we ought not to make, the path we ought not
to follow. All these embedded in the life we live.

Everyone
aspires to be a leader in his or her calling; but not everyone has the grace to
sustain the leadership position. Everyone wants to have laudable achievements
in his or her lifetime; but not everyone knows how to go about it. Even not
everyone wants to pay the price for the prize. I have seen great leaders with
humble beginning but ended in pathetic way. I have heard of wealthy men some
years back; but now living in penury. I have seen people at the corridor of
power; but now in gross obscurity of life. I have read stories about people
from grass to grace; likewise from grace to grass. Those who make you king
today are ready to put in prison tomorrow.
We thought we are loved but deep inside their facial expression are
unimaginable evils. Those who celebrate your success today will be the first
group of people that will laugh at when you fail in your assignment tomorrow.
They praise you today, they clamour for your head to be beheaded tomorrow.

What a
life we live! We run on thorns with the strong faith that we will not sustain
injury. We walk under the rain believing that we will not be soaked. We aspire
with perseverance to become relevant in life, but we never ask for commensurate
grace to sustain us in the pursuit of happiness. I have weighed life, reviewed
the pros and cons of life, I admit that mankind is not perfect. That is why our
errors are inevitable. All we need to accomplish great success is “GRACE”.
Grace guides us in the journey of life to stardom; it also sustains us
throughout our lifetime. Oh Lord, let your GRACE be sufficient for me lest l
become object of ridicule at the end of my life.

God is not
a man that will lie; whatever He says He will do, He will surely bring it to
pass. He has a great plan for His subjects and He brings the prophecies to pass
at due season. Oftentimes we are in haste; we push God through our prayers and
complaints to speedy up the manifestation of the prophecies. We make efforts to
manipulate events of life to be in our favour; we take short cuts to get to our
destinations in life. But this is not how God works; His ways are not our ways,
His thought is not our thoughts. As heavens are higher than the earth so are
His ways higher than yours ways and His thoughts than your thoughts Isaiah
55:8-9. There is a season for every purpose under heaven. He made everything
beautiful in its time. He also put eternity in their hearts, except that no one
can find out the work that God does from the beginning to the end Ecclesiastes
3:1, 11.

Indeed His
thoughts towards us are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us hope and
the future Jeremiah 29:11. But we must wait patiently for His promises to
manifest. Undue haste may mar the promises and even end a beauty story in pains
and agonies. Remember this; the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the
end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because
it will surely come, it will not tarry Habakkuk 2:3.

It is true
that in every ugly situation there are hidden treasures waiting for someone who
is ready to take the risk to unleash the hidden treasures. So also things that
pose greatest threats are always clothed with gold and very appealing apparel.
I came across this illustration some days ago and l will like to share it in
this message. If you place a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will
immediately attempt to scramble out for safety. Place the same frog in water at
room temperature; do not scare it, it will stay put. But if the pot sits on a
heat source, and if you gradually turn up the temperature, something very
interesting will happen. As the temperature rises, initially the frog will do
nothing. In fact, it will show every sign of enjoying itself. As the
temperature gradually increases, the frog will begin to feel uncomfortable and
getting weaker, until it is unable to climb out of the pot. Though there is
nothing restraining the frog, it will sit there and boil, perhaps to death.
Why? The frog’s internal apparatus for sensing threats to survival is geared to
sudden changes in its environment; not to slow, subtle and gradual changes.

That is how
many are caught unaware in the voyage of life. What causes regrettable events
in life are often embedded in pleasures so that the potential victims will
hardly notice it. We become prey to destructive events when we are enjoying the
goodies life offers. Adam and Even lost eternal joy because of disobedience
Genesis 3:9-19. Rueben lost all the blessings as a first son because of some
minutes pleasure Genesis 49:3-4. What brought Samson from grace to grass was
coated in his lust for strange women. Not everything that is appealing at first
glance will give you eternal joy if you care to look beyond what you see now.
